Frying and Sauteeing Foods
Frying food is cooking in hot fat or oil until it is browned on all sides and cooked through. Frying is usually done in a shallow skillet. Sauteing is a dry heat cooking method. The pan is very hot with just a small amount of oil or fat, and the food cooks or browns quickly.

How many calories are in eggs fried?

How do you measure temperature of oil for frying?
Deep frying is normally done at between 360 and 375 degrees Fahrenheit and the following methods are designed to indicate when the oil reaches this temperature point
- Use the handle of a wooden spoon or a wooden chopstick. When the oil has preheated, dip the handle of a wooden spoon or a chopstick into the oil. If the oil starts steadily bubbling, then the oil is hot enough for frying. If the oil bubbles very very vigorously, then the oil is too hot and needs to cool off a touch. If no or very few bubbles pop up - then it's not hot enough.
- The old Joy of Cooking method - drop a 1 inch square of bread into the oil. If it takes 60 seconds to brown, then the oil is at 365.
- The Cooks Illustrated Method - drop a single kernel of popcorn into the oil as you heat it. The kernel will pop as the oil reaches between 350 and 360 degrees. (Remove the kernel, eat it, and start frying)
Remember that no matter what temperature you start at, overcrowding the pan will result in a dramatic temperature drop and oily food - so don't spend a lot of effort ensuring the correct temperature only to waste your effort by dumping in a mountain of frozen French fries, for example!

How much oil is needed in a 34-quart kettle when deep frying a nineteen pound turkey?
Approximately 5 gallons, depending upon the diameter of your cooking pot. It has to be enough to cover the bird by about 1 inch.
The Louisianian in me is forcing me to add more to this answer. First, we don't usually recommend frying a turkey over 15 pounds, but the "experts" can get away with it. Second, peanut oil is our preferred oil for turkey frying, because of the flavor and the high smoking point. However, you should be careful about peanut allergies of your guests. Whatever oil you use, make sure it has a high smoke point and never let the oil get over 350F. Oil can flame up. When the temperature of the oil is between 325F and 350F, it's ready for the bird. Be sure to completely dry the completely thawed (and properly injected) bird before dropping it. You want the injection juices inside the meat, not on the surface (moisture and oil don't mix well.) Also, for safety sake, always fry outdoors and never under a covered roof. Get ready for the most moist turkey ever and be prepared for demands that you repeat this as Christmas.
Heating a frying pan is chemical or physical change?
